Denton, TX – Bobbie Niemeier Denson passed away at the age of 101 on the evening of December 20th, 2022, at her home in Denton TX. She spent the days prior enjoying quality time with her family.

Bobbie Helen Niemeier was born on August 27th, 1921 in Coryell City, Texas to Henry Niemeier and Floy Sparkman. She was a loving younger sister to their eldest daughter, Lois, and a caring older one to her baby brother Charles.

After she graduated from Crawford High School, she pursued a career in nursing, where she met Otis M. McKinzie. He was a patient who landed a date with her by sheer luck after several attempts to ask her out. The pair married in 1939.

She began working in hospital administration at Perrin Air Force Base as they settled down in Sherman TX where they had their 2 daughters Barbara and Linda. They spent 25 years together building a home and a family.

Otis passed unexpectedly at the age of 45 in 1964 due to health complications, leaving Bobbie and her girls to navigate life as the girls transitioned into adulthood. She later met Joe Douglas Denson, a pilot who was new to Texas, through her best friend. They married in 1966 in Sherman and blended their two families; Joe had 3 children, Myron, Mary Ann, and Dana. They decided to move to Anchorage AK, where Bobbie’s daughter Barbara lived until her death, and where her granddaughter Andi lives now with her two sons. While she lived there, she continued her work in personnel administration at Elmendorf Air Force Base.

The couple spent their golden years together in Lake Whitney and Clifton TX enjoying their retirement by painting, cross-stitching, boating, and flying. Inspired by their love of nature, Bobbie and Joe were regular donors to charities that work to preserve wildlife and they adopted a parrot, Tasha, who became their lifelong companion.

Joe passed away at the age of 86 in 2009. Bobbie moved back to Denton to be closer to her youngest daughter, Linda, and her grandchildren Leslie, Michelle, and Tammy. She found community as a part of the Good Samaritan Society where she enjoyed playing cards with her friends and dominating in dominoes. She kept in touch with everyone she met and loved people. Bobbie was a social butterfly and a loyal friend. Much like her cross-stitching work, she was the thread that tied her family and community together. An irreplaceable presence that touched many lives, the absence of which will be forever felt by the people who were fortunate enough to have known her.

Bobbie is survived by her youngest daughter Linda and step-children Myron, Mary Ann, and Dana; her grandchildren, Andi, Leslie, and Michelle, her step-grandchildren, Tammy, John, David, Tanna, Adam, Tracy, Jamie, Denver, and Isaac. Her legacy continues with her 24 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great-grandchildren.

Flower Mound, Texas – Golfer Kathy Whitworth, who won more golfing championships in her career than any golfer ever, died on Saturday at the age of 83.

Whitworth accumulated 88 victories on tour over her illustrious pro career, which stretched from 1958-2005.

Over time, the legendary golfer won six LPGA major championships. That included three Women’s PGA Championships (1967, 1971, 1975), two Titleholders Championships (1965, 1966), and one Western Open victory in 1967. Whitworth was named the LPGA Tour Player of the Year seven times (1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1971, 1972, and 1973).

Additionally, she was named the AP’s Female Athlete of the Year twice: Once in 1965, the other the year after in 1966. In 1965, she won eight tournaments including one major. She would follow in 1966 with nine, including another major.

Whitworth was immortalized in the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1975. She has one of the most famous records in golf: 88 victories over a span of 23 years, an average of 3.8 victories per season starting with the Kelly Girl Open and ending with the United Virginia Bank Classic. In three decades, Kathrynne Ann Whitworth surpassed the victory totals of Mickey Wright (82) and Sam Snead (82) to lodge herself atop the category of Most Tournament Victories by any golfing Professional.

Whitworth, in 1981, became the first woman in golf history to earn $1 million in 1981.

Obituary of Rev. Albert William Holck

Rev. Albert William Holck, 87, of Austin, Texas, passed away, Tuesday, March 24, 2020, in the comfort of his own home surrounded by all three children, numerous grandchildren and significant others.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Manfred and Bertha Holck, his brother, Rev. Manfred Holck Jr., and his firstborn son, Albert Jonathan. Albert is survived by his wife of 64 years, Velma Margaret Miller Holck; his sister, Bertha (Beatsy) Chumney; his sons, Andrew William Holck of Dallas and Philip Carl Holck of Calgary, Canada; daughter Margaret Ann Felger of Austin; and six grandchildren, Preston Luthy, Matthew Holler, Paul Holck, and Rachel, Joshua, and Evan Felger.

His childhood was spent around the family home on Travis Heights Boulevard. He attended Fulmore School, Allen Jr. High School, and graduated from Austin High School. His childhood included earning the Eagle Rank in the Boy Scouts of America and attending the international Boy Scout Jamboree of 1947 in Moisson, France. He also participated in the Capital Set Square Dance team, sponsored and led by his parents, traveling throughout Texas and in other states, performing square dance routines. The group included his siblings and several cousins.

As a member of the Luther League at St. Martin’s, Albert attended many training sessions, Bible Camps, and national Luther League Conventions, which led him to attend Texas Lutheran College. After three semesters at Texas Lutheran College, Sequin, Texas, he completed his college work at the University of Texas with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He then attended the Evangelical Lutheran Seminary (Capital) in Columbus, Ohio. His internship year was spent with Emanuel Lutheran Church, Seguin, Texas. He graduated from seminary in 1957, and was ordained on June 23, 1957 at St. Martin’s Ev. Lutheran Church.

Albert served: Eben-Ezer Lutheran Church, Brenham, Texas; St. John Lutheran Church, Winters, Texas; Abiding Savior Lutheran Church, Houston, Texas; Christ Lutheran Church, Pine Bluff, Arkansas; and Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Austin, Texas. During these pastorates, he served the larger Church as Chairman of the Social Ministry Committee and President of the Pine Bluff Ministerial Association. Following retirement from active pastoral ministry, Albert worked for the State of Texas with the Texas Water Commission. He finished his public work as one of the preachers for the Saturday worship service at St. Martin’s.

Albert always enjoyed singing, serving as a song leader at many Boy Scout gatherings. He sang with the Men’s Chorus at Texas Lutheran College, and with St. Martin’s Senior Choir, both in his formative years, and later, after retirement. He was an active member of the Austin Saengerrunde Maennerchor since 1979, singing 1st Bass and 2nd Tenor. He also served as Vice-President and Music Committee Chairman for several years.

Albert’s love of traveling — developed during the square dancing years and forced upon him for his seminary training–was part of his life with Velma. Married during his year of internship, she joined him for his last year of seminary, and then traveled around Texas as he served various congregations. They also made many family vacation trips. Travel overseas began in 1983 with Chorgemeinschaft Texas, in a trip to Germany. During that trip they also traveled behind the Iron Curtain to contact relatives in Dresden. This was followed by cruises to Alaska and the Caribbean, and trips to Copper Canyon, Mexico, and Canada.

Fishing, gardening (raising vegetables), raising rabbits and chickens were among his other hobbies. He enjoyed working with the Mop and Hammer Group at St. Martin’s. In his later years he became a care-giver for his wife who suffers from dementia. This experience helped him to express his emotions and to see how delicate life can be.

For his life he gives all credit to his Lord Jesus, who guided and protected him, so that his foolish ways did not cause destruction and sorrow to those around him. For those who would like to express their sympathy, he requests that they lean on the Lord and let Him direct their lives. Such sympathy will be most beneficial for all.

A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date.
